Verification
| Test | - At three jobs that allow regrind, put an empty bin at the press for one shift.
- Only runners and rejected parts go into it.
- At the end of the shift, weigh each bin on the floor scale, less the empty bin, and write down the job, the plastic and the pounds.
|
| Cost | About $45 of a material handler's time: about 90 minutes spread over one shift, at $30 per hour. Nothing is bought. |
| Duration | One shift |
| Confirmed if | The three bins together weigh about 25 pounds or more. Over a year of shifts that is the 6,250 pounds per grinder this card counts. |
| Ruled out if | - The three bins together weigh under about 4 pounds.
- A grinder would then not cover what it costs to run.
- In between, a grinder pays back more slowly than we count.
